Hi everyone,

I figured with technology today this is the best place to go and ask this question. Our company is looking to hiring a cleaning company and they put me in charge of the task. I wanted to get some input before I moved forward and then brought my findings to the owner.

First off, let me explain I haven't been with the company that long and this feels like my first real task in the fact I know I will be judged with what my results will be and what I bring to the table. Of course, I want to get them a great service and the best pricing I can. This is really an opportunity to shine.

I am searching the internet for companies and any ideas on what terms to search for to get the best results? I have looked for janitorial, cleaning & janitorial cleaning. Yes I am getting results but feel I am missing the bigger picture. Second, any suggestions on key points I should be looking for in a company besides pricing? Again, I am sure there are specific things I should be looking for and asking.

I would appreciate all comments and suggestions. With the job market here I really want to make a good impression and shine.

Please help.

Check with other OM's in your area; in most cases a specific area will use the same company and only if they are satisfied. I would also check with minority companies as well.

Hi Kelly,

I would go to the Yellow pages first. I would call some of the cleaning companies and get their rates. Then I would ask for 2-3 names, contacts and numbers of companies they are presently working with. If they have a good reputation and do a good job, they should have no problems giving you this this information.
